Language creation/extending

I know languages are a touchy subject. Whenever anything come up dealing with the choice of languages there are those out there engrained in a specific language or set of languages and would only settle for the total populus agreeing... I am not one of those people. So I am going to state a few facts about this.

Firstly "NO" I have no intention of attempting to create the ultimate programming language nor anything in that respects. I am not even going to create a language to replace or claim improvement on a commercially popular language and act that my idead/constructions are the cream of the crop.
Secondly I am doing this for fun, not necessarily function. I know that there are PLENTY of already exceptional languages out there (in which I will obviously use to create this one). Advice is nice, advice saying "Give up" or "Use a _____ Language" is useless.
Thirdly why is a question for only me to need to understand.

Now that I'm done rambling ...

I am attempting to create a language based off Begunge-93 to which the language i create would contain Befunge-93 and have additional and sepatrate syntax from Befunge-97. Having Variables, Procedures, and the ability fo comment internally.

I am going to start with writing a tutorial for befunge 93
Then an interpreter for Befunge 93
Next I will extend the syntax (past even what I said)
Then alter the prototype interpreter for my extended language
